When is it ok to trailer your hot rod

Ok, when is ok to trailer your hot rod? the wife and I along with some friends are going to the "Hot Rod Reunion" in Bowling Green again this year. I want to drive my T-Bucket it's about 250 to 275 miles drive for us, the wife does not want to ride in it that far, as all but about 5 miles will be all I-65 she does not like to get on the Interstate in the bucket, plus she has a little back pain every now and then. She said it would be ok to do it because of her back, I told her she could ride with friends. So is it ok to trailer it, or not. Also it has a top but I don't like the top on it.

 

When your first draggin it home as a new project.

 

it is ok to trailer your hot rod any time you wish. if you need to check with the guys on here for permission, you are making a mistake. do as you wish and if somebody has a problem, screw them. you need not make excuses, nor ask permission.

 

be a man like the rest of us and ask your wife!

take the top off and trailer the snot out of it , park a few miles out and cruise on in , we wont ask if you dont tell!

 

Leave her ass at home. Bitchin on a trip will get your ass kicked out.

I dont think Ive ever seen a T bucket on a trailer, ever.

You asked. I answered.

 

HA HA, I remember the last thread about this.
bobwop is correct!!!!

 

i say thats a good reason. its good your wife wants to go and enjoy this with you. a little compromise goes a long way. i trailer my car when i take it to test in tune, just in case something brakes i have a ride home.

 

if it was my wife shed just be happy she wasnt in the trunk

 

only if its broken...the car that is..

 

People make fun of me when I don't ride my hardtail Harley 2000 miles to Sturgis. Screw them, my 60 year old back cannot do it. Do what you wish and enjoy.

 

Great advice. Keep the wife healthy, and happy.

 

Your life will be more enjoyable when you learn to do what you want and quit trying to earn the respect of a bunch of internet guys.

 

I trailer mine if it's over 75 miles, or if it's more than 2 going to the show, my back is bad. Screw the others, I'd rather trailer it and have fun at the show than drive it and be miserable at the show.

 

It's OK to trailer a hotrod to a race track if it is a purpose built race car, especially if it isn't a licensed street rod.
It's not OK to trailer a street rod that is a licensed hotrod to a "cruise".
A street rod is any licensed and street driven hotrod.
It's OK to trailer any of them back home when they break...

 

I've never but one of my cars on a trailer and I never will unless it's broke down and I can't get it fixed on the spot.

 

I use to say that the only time it should be trailered is when it's broke.
As mine was from time to time.

But, it's your call. If you don't want to leave the little woman at home, than compromise. Drag the car the long distance and then use the T for the short stuff. I wouldn't want to drive a T 50 miles let alone 275. They just ain't that comfortable and in the rain they can be downright frightfull.

There will come a day (not too many years from now) that I will probably drag the car to all of the events over 100 miles. The physical part of driving will let me know when it's time to do so.

 

you know you paid for it built it whatever it really doesnt matter what anyone says

do whatever "you" feel like drive it push it tow it there all that really matters is you got it there in one peice

 

Whenever you want to.

 

Hey Bishop, are you married? Trailer it, and have fun when you get there and keep your wife happy. Wise asses like Bishop can go pound sand!

 

I'm with Bobwop. Any time you damn well please....

 

I trailer when I need to. My car gets 8 mpg if I am lucky and I have a 11 gallon tank. Bags are for groceries. And trailers are for trailer queens and I could give a rats ass about what anyone thinks so I run bags and I trailer.

 

I'm a third.

 

Fuckit put it on the trailer. Remember if Mommas happy your happy.

 

What a silly question. What do you want to do? Then do that and don't worry about what anyone else thinks...sheesh

 

trailer it.. no since in putta that many miles.. taking the risk of it breaking and ruining the weekend

 

When you're dead and your wife sold it to pay the mortgage.

Yes, I am married. I love my wife. She is the coolest chick you would ever meet. She loves everything about my life, I love everything about her, but if she dont want to go on a trip, then she can stay her ass at home. Ive never seen a T-bucket on a trailer either, never. What makes me so bad ????

 

When it's broken. Part of the joy is the excitement of the "what may happen". Besides, maybe she'll find a new found joy in it as well. Yeah, maybe do what you can to help her find the comfort she may need. I had the agreement with mine, when racking up the miles on my Harley, it was a back/butt massage after every 3hrs of riding. It was a win-win!

 

Hope this helps.............But then again I don't own a T bucket!
